For over 40 years, Bay Aging has been caring for older adults and people with disabilities in the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula with meals, home and personal care, public transportation, home repairs and living options. Our goal is to help people live independently in their own homes and communities surrounded by their own things and, wherever possible, their families and friends. Our top priority is to keep independence, home and community at the hub of life in the rural counties we serve. Last year Bay Aging's services affected over 23,000 lives! Every year, we:• Deliver over 144,000 meals to those who might otherwise not have a reliable source of food. • Provide over 140,000 public transportation rides that help people of all ages access jobs, health services, education and other consumer needs.People want to age safely in their homes and communities.
